Bridge Builders Pools.

John NJ. Stahl writing on the sub
ject of roads and bridges for the
Country Gentleman tells how the
bridge building companies manage it.
We suspect there is more truth than
poetry in the charge.
"While we are getting our bridges
cheaper new than formerly, this is on.
ly by careful Watching and shrewd
management. This is because the
bridge builders, if allowed to do so
will spool their issues" This matter
should be thoroughly understood, for
this pooling is the practice in many
localities where, the people do not
dream that there is such thing in ex-
istencs. Naturally enough, the iron
bridge men are the greatest sinners
Suppose that five concerns send each
u man to bid on the work. They com
pare figures and find that-ths bridge
can be built for $1,000. They decide
whose turn it is to have the job, and
he bids $4,000 while the others all bid
higher, some bidding as high as ST..
900. to make it appear that the $4,000
bid is low. This explains why often
there are such wide differences among
bids, when the bidders can certainly
do the work at about the same figures.
OF course the man that makes the S.
900 bid gets the job, and clears 81 900
OF this each of the other four bidders
gets 5000 Likely when the five men
meet to bid on this job they arrange
for several other contracts that are
soon to be let. 1t is decided who is to
get each contract, what bis bid is to
be, and the "size of pot" Then the
others stay out or send in high bids
Each three or six months the bridge
builders do little clearing house bus
mess among themselves"

Dairy Dots.

1t is true that the milk of COWS that
are worried or frightened will sour much
quicker than when not worried, says
the q. S. Dairyman. Infants fed with
the milk of cows worried or heated by
running, will suffer from collie and often
from diarrhea.
One reason that dairy butter does not
bring the highest price is because too
many farmers keep it in their cellars.
A cellar is no place for butter, no mat
ter how clean or well ventilated it may
be. There wilt be more or less odor
from last years vegetables that the but
ter will absorb.
In this country nearly two dollars
worth of milk, cream, butter and cheese
together are sold and consumed to
every dollars worth of beef. What is
more, there is not much danger that
the market for dairy products will ever
be less than it is now-it is practically
inexhaustible. So says the u s.
Dairyman.
In reply to question from osrres.
pendent, Henry Stewart, in the Country
Gentleman, says: The cheesy taste
complained of is due to the imperfect
cleansing of the butter from the butter,
milk. This cannot be done completely
by the common method Of churning, in
which the butter is, gathered in Jumps
and is largely mingled with buttermilk
All the working and washing that can
be done cannot get rid wholly of this
sour milk when it is so intimately en-.
closed among the PARTICLES Of the butter.
If the churning is stopped when the
butter is in small grains, and before it
is collected in compact mass, and the
buttermilk then drawn off from the
churn and water poured in and changed
until it is no longer colored by the
buttermilk, and the butter is then salt.
ed and mixed SO as to get rid Of all ex.
cess of water above that which is needed
to keep it moist enough to dissolve the
salt (Which is about ten to twelve per
cent of the weight of the butter), there
will be no cheesy taste.

always be given or mixed with the food
if preferred. Keep cracked corn and
clean screenings before them all the
